Witnesses tried to calm the situation, warning the suspect the woman wasn’t acting out personally, but he escalated, threatening violence. After she left her home claiming she was going to the mall, she was attacked again — struck with a brick and kicked repeatedly — before dying at the scene. This tragedy underscores the urgent need for compassion and better handling of mental health crises. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
